Retailers like Walmart, Huckberry, and Dick's Sporting Goods have all sorts of Labor Day deals to give shoppers a way to stock up for fall without breaking the bank. Outdoor enthusiasts in particular have something to get excited about with REI's Labor Day sale, which slashes prices on tons of camping gear from The North Face, Exped, and even Thule. But one of the best deals comes from REI's own brand on a basic camping chair that's quickly becoming a bestseller.
REI Co-op’s Flexlite Air Chair is on sale for $70 — a rare 30% discount off its regular $100 price, which is less than best-selling models from Helinox and Kelty. The Flexlite line of chairs has become a must-have for campers, hikers, and even backyard partygoers because of its durability, comfort, and great materials. This chair has earned more than 350 five-star ratings from shoppers who say it’s “super lightweight” and “compact.” It’s currently available in three colors—gray, orange, and tan—but the sale ends on September 2, so be sure to grab one before then.

Designed with a four-legged aluminum frame and a water-repellent ripstop nylon fabric seat, the chair is both durable and strong. It weighs just one pound but can support an impressive 250 pounds, making it portable and easy to carry whether you're backpacking, car camping, or heading to your kid's baseball game.
Shoppers can’t hide their enthusiasm for the product. “The ultimate luxury camping and backpacking product,” said one shopper. “We bought two and each carry one for hikes and backcountry backpacking trips. This chair has been used at camp for after-dinner reading by the fire, on ridgetops for lunch with a view, and on rocky outcrops (safely off the cliff) for sunsets and sunrises… I find this chair very comfortable and easy to get in and out of.”

The REI Co-op Flexlite Air Chair is one of the best deals on camping gear you'll find during the retailer's Labor Day sale, but it's only available for a few more days. Make sure to grab your favorite color while it's $30 off.
